Turned a wheel, but I\'m still scared for some reason
 

100 NL on Pacific, villain is new to the table. Hero is in the BB with 55, with 6 total seeing an unraised flop of ...

2 3 4 rainbow (~$6 in pot)

It gets checked around to LP who bets $2, Hero calls, and Villain calls.

Turn: Ace
Hero checks, gets checked around (LP checked quickly)

River: 7 (~$10)
Hero bets $7, Villain min-raises, LP folds, Hero calls

Should I be betting this turn? Did I play this scared (worried about 56)? Should I 3-bet the river and fold to a raise?

you checked the turn, why?

Note that 56 beats you before the seven comes. Bet the turn, bet the river, and three bet. At this point, you're probably stack committed anyway and I suspect the villian has something like A7.

Since you checked the turn, he might be trying to value bet 88-TT

bet flop, bet turn, bet river would be a nice line. Er, 56 was made on the flop, so given the action, very doubtful that anyone has that hand.

Bet or check-raise this flop. Then bomb that turn. All-in on the river. A set or two pair is coming along for the ride.

As played, the river helps no one. You already lose to 56 before the river 7. Since you have 2 of the 5's, I like the 3-bet push here. A lot of 2nd best hands will look you up.

It's a 4 card wheel on the board in a limped pot... maybe I'll give you a set. Unless this guy is a complete retard he's not raising your river bet without you guys chopping I don't think.

Why? Hero has second nuts with 2 of the 4 cards needed for the mortal nuts. Why call if you have the best hand? If he folds what have I lost?

Any set, A2, A3, A4, A7, KK or QQ. With the min raise he is telling you he doesn't believe you have the 5. So what if I fold out everything else? I give myself a chance to win more by pushing.

Putting villain on one hand (56) is seeing monsters under the bed.
